1.17

Yesterday, January 17th was the 21st anniversary of the massive earthquake which struck Kobe and surrounding areas.
6434 people were killed in the disaster.
At 5:46 a.m. the exact time when the earthquake hit the beautiful city of Kobe, people gave prayers for their lost loved ones.

21 years have passed, and Kobe is now as beautiful as it was before the earthquake. But the disaster will remain in our hearts as something we need to remember.
